Tom, my friend....you're wound too tight.

@Slip18 is just having fun like the rest of us here.

It ain't over until it's over.---Berra's Law.

I learned a long time ago not to predict the outcomes of sports contests. I've seen baseball teams
that were supposed to be threshing machines get knocked off early enough. It only began with
the 1963 Yankees getting smothered in four straight by the Dodgers---the first time the Yankees
ever got swept out of a Series. It only continued with the 1969 Mets, who were supposed to have
been destroyed by the Orioles---and beat them in four straight after losing Game One of that
World Series.

Besides, I think @Slip18 was only having a little fun . . .

I was being a little sarcastic with a bit of historical information.

So sorry if I may have hurt your feelings.

Go Astros!

I think these Yankees were well-behaved, nothing to feel bitter about them about and they defeated my favorite team plenty this year and in the past. Hating teams is more like what kids do though, it may still strike in adulthood and it's not necessarily bad to feel that way.

Mostly when people talk about "hating" a sports team, it's not actual hatred.

I can say I hate the Yankees (and I say it often) without any animus toward anyone who likes them.

It's a sports thing.  Not a real thing.

@Freya -  If the Yankees are your team, good for you!  They had a great season!


(But I am SO stinkin' happy the Astros took them out last night.   ^-^ )

Of course I'm going for the LA Dodgers. I first saw them play in the Coliseum when they moved to LA.

I want them to win it all, for Vin Scully and Tommy Lasorda.

And I want them to loose for Moonbeam and the idiot mayor of LA!

Those were the days! [sigh]. Remember Sandy Koufax pitching?  What a joy!

The D-Backs somehow remind me of those days.  New team.  Very close relationships among the players.  The games are so much fun to watch.  Even when we lose, we know our team did the absolutely best they could under some very difficult circumstances.  I am very proud of them!

Go Astros!

Hahahaha!  I was there during Moonbeam's father's tenure and Moonbeam's first tenure!  What a joke!  I am trying to think here about something Moonbeam did correctly just recently, but I just can't think of it.

We did have President Ronald Reagan as a Governor, too!

Went to some Dodger games, and was near fanatic for a few adolescent years. Listened a LOT on radio, like the day Koufax pitched a perfect game.

I honestly know that feeling.  Sometimes tears well up in my eyes!
